That’s almost as strong as what the veterinary surgeon said as she pulled the mass out.

Either way I'm finding it impossible to do "parking brake" turns in modern cars with electric brakes. Mine drops from Autohold after a defined time interval and the parking brake comes on. Not checked if the PB illuminates the rear brake lights with the engine running. Must do so.

Mines a Generation 5 introduced in 2019, so yours must be the Lexus introduced in 2014 and replaced 2021. That would explain some of the difference in mpg. Between RAV4 Generation 4 and 5 apart from improving the efficiency of the powertrain the structural strength improved over 50%, a big...

Could they be ex Post Office owners fed up with waiting for Horizon compensation ?

Yes RAV 4 has Autohold which I use regularly. Surprised at the 38 mpg on your Lexus as apart from a short hop which is rare 56mpg is my lowest in 4 weeks, and it’s normally above that on a mix of A and B roads plus local towns. Last Wednesday we went to Bath and it averaged 65.9 mpg on the...

Could try the SAS/RM approach and use a poo bag then take it over to a dog waste bin. 😂 Or why not buy an incineration toilet as used in some boats and leisure vehicles.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incinerating_toilet#:~:text=An%20incinerating%20toilet%20is%20a,as%20does%20a%20flush%20toilet.

Welcome to the Forum, it must be hard to avoid the bug in Scotland!!! Especially on the western side in summer. A lovely place to go caravanning. What car do you tow with?

Be very watchful as mine is a thief. We now treat her like we would a very young child. This lot came out of her stomach 12 months ago. Mostly from her previous owners children’s socks and toys. Required major surgery.

Preferably unused please. 🙈 Why not fit a Gerberit toilet with heated seat. No paper required

There’s masses of stuff supposedly biodegradable but it doesn’t degrade quickly enough to not cause issues at sewage works. Can you be certain this doesn’t cause issues. To be honest what’s wrong with a quick flush before using the loo. It seems to me to be just another answer to a question...

I’m sure I have to have foot brake on to put the car into Park. Going out soon so will pay attention to my actions 😂 Yes it has a Sport mode, plus Eco snd Nirmal and an EV one too. It also has manual mode which I use for landing in Bath with its super inclined hills. 99% of the time it’s in...

My patio was laid about 10 years ago by the previous owner and for the last two years the mortar grout has been progressively deteriorating with moss etc. It consists of riven pavers that are rectangular or square but laid in a random manner with variable gaps. Some as tight as 3-4mm others...

I’ve got my electric parking brake to apply if in Park, or if in Autohold for more than a certain time. Otherwise I predominantly use Autohold and because the car has an electric motor when I want to move forward or reverse it is a very smooth and controlled take off.

Yes I did consider using it.

I’m happy for any volunteers to regrout my riven random paving. Done about 25%so far and it’s not amongst my favourite jobs
